I thought it was... but I’m not sure. It only cost $80 and I didn’t remember if perhaps Apple made a Stainless Steel gold one then too..
Got a tip for us?

Nope, the only time they released that band in that color was with the gold edition. Does it feel legit? That's pretty good for $80!
They do look different, it’s almost like the old light pink band.
I’m a sucker for all the pink bands.
I tried the Seashell Sport Loop on once. It didn’t feel very comfortable, though I liked that it was more snug than the Sport Band. Perhaps it becomes more comfortable after wearing it for a while?
I also had aesthetic problems with how it doesn’t curve flush into the watch where the band meets the watch case, as other Apple bands do. Instead, the Sport Loop’s straps shoot straight into the watch at a sharp angle. Offputting.
The Sport Loop isn’t as durable as the Sport Band (at the same price) and requires more cleaning (putting it through the laundry on cold + air drying it) more often to keep it looking, smelling and feeling good.
The 3D renders I see on Apple’s site are, of course, amazing to look at and very tempting.
But what am I missing here? I see some people really like their Sport Loops, and more power to them.

ive got endless colors but always seem to default back to; red or white or hermes orange. i lust for the OEM blue sport band, the FIRST edition of it but can't come to grips paying the price.
I hear ya, I have my defaults too.
I regret not getting any blue sport bands in the sale that just took place. Really blew it!
Hopefully you will find the blue sport band original, it comes up on the UK eBay or amazon occasionally at a reasonable price. I have finally attached the adhesive black dot (from StickerTalk) over the red dot on my series 3 stainless steel watch! My blue, green, yellow, orange and violet shades were hardly being worn with that colour clash!
just placed an an order on apple.com for that horizon blue band for my 44mm
A space black steel, milanaise loop and “almost-like-Nike” custom watch face
check the @stroughtonsmith user on twitter - he is the author of this overall idea and concept.
So, my statistics:
- denial ✓
- anger ✓
- bargaining ✓
- depression ✓
- acceptance - in progress...
In another words - today I've ordered gold series 4 watch second time. Will arrive mid November...
And really silver looks very simple, space black - depressingly dark, aluminum - just not beautiful.
No other options except bronze series 4... and white series 3 (my love).
And bands... Non of the leather classic buckle bands looks nice with non-silver steel watches. Seems like I'd have to get rid of all of them
